World?s Largest Offshore Wind Farm is now Connected to U.K.?s Grid All 175 of London Array?s turbines are now exporting power to the U.K. grid. The 630-megawatt facility off southeast England is the worldapos;s largest operating wind farm at sea and is estimated to generate enough electricity for almost half a million homes a year. London Array is about 20 kilometers off the coasts of Essex and Kent. The owners are considering an expansion of the site to raise capacity to 870 megawatts. Britain, the biggest market for marine wind farms, is working to further reduce the cost of the technology as the country aims to get 30 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by the end of the decade, up from almost 12 percent now. http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2013/04/eon-dong-connect-worlds-largest-offshore-wind-farm-to-u-k-grid?cmpid=rss Vestas ShowingSigns of a StrongRecovery For the past two years, Vestas Wind Systems has struggled as the oversupply of wind turbines on the market forced turbine prices to dramatically drop.

Sea breeze

A sea breeze or onshore breeze is a gentle wind that develops over bodies of water near land due to differences in air pressure created by their different heat capacity. It is a common occurrence along coasts during the morning as solar radiation heats the land more quickly than the water. A land breeze or offshore breeze is the reverse effect, caused by land cooling more quickly than water in the evening. The sea breeze dissipates and the wind flows from the land towards the sea. Both are important factors in coastal regions' prevailing winds.

Offshore wind refers more generally to any wind over open water. Offshore wind farms take advantage of the higher wind speeds available over the sea, but are usually placed near coasts to reduce costs and to take advantage of daily flows of sea and land breezes. Nearshore wind farms are those closest to land, while others are further out to sea.

Cause

The sea has a greater heat capacity than land, so the surface of the sea warms up more slowly than the land's surface. As the temperature of the surface of the land rises, the land heats the air above it by conduction. The warm air is less dense and so it expands, decreasing the pressure over the land near the coast. The air above the sea has a relatively higher pressure, causing air near the coast to flow towards the lower pressure over land. The strength of the sea breeze is directly proportional to the temperature difference between the land and the sea. If a strong offshore wind is present, that is, a wind greater than 8 knots (15km/h) and opposing the direction of a possible sea breeze, the sea breeze is not likely to develop.

Fleet wide monitoring of offshore wind farms for failure prognosis

Fleet wide monitoring of offshore wind farms for failure prognosis

Fleet wide monitoring of offshore wind farms for failure prognosis

Offshore wind energy is rapidly becoming a key player in the European renewables market and recently expanded to U.S. waters. However, a drastic reduction in the cost of offshore wind energy is necessary in order to achieve long-term viability.
Two aspects with high potential are operation and maintenance (O&M) optimization and field-data enabled design improvements. Both heavily rely on decision support tools to link turbine operation modes to failure mechanisms.
An owner-operator of a wind farm looks for controllability and seeks knowledge about future failure events. Prognosis techniques not only detect failure, but also and more importantly predict failure evolution. This enables reduced power operation modes to allow turbines to remain online while spare parts are on their way.
A designer is interested in the link between occurring failure and the design assumptions. Prognosis enables feedback from the failure mechanisms of the whole fleet of turbines in the field, creating an interactive learning process about the current design. Due to a lack of data, prognosis has been held back a long time, but the current trend towards sensorization of Industrial machines, the so-called Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), is starting to overcome this hurdle.
In a September talk hosted by the MIT Energy Initiative, Jan Helsen, professor of Mechanical Engineering at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, discussed his research leveraging physics-based signal processing techniques with machine learning approaches to build multi-level models that predict system under-performance and failure. Helsen also investigates the potential to learn at the fleet level, and the potential to embed expert knowledge in decision-support schemes and dashboards.
This talk was presented on September 21, 2016 as part of the IHS MarkitSeminarSeries.
About the speaker:
Jan Helsen joined the department of Mechanical Engineering at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in 2014. He holds a PhD in Engineering Science from KU Leuven in the field of flexible multibody modeling of wind turbines. His research focuses on physics based big data analytics for monitoring of fleets of rotating machinery, with main application areas in wind energy and industrial machinery. In the wind energy domain he coordinates the big data analytics-related projects at the Belgian offshore wind laboratory OWI-lab. He has a close collaboration with National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) WindTeam in the field of turbine reliability. His research team is involved in both fundamental and industry oriented research projects with leading wind energy players. He worked with MHIVOW, Vestas, ZF Wind Power and Siemens, among others.

In this webinar, David de Jager will present the findings of a report from the DIA-CORE project. The report is the first to provide an estimation of the costs of capital for onshore wind projects across the 28 EU MS (based on more than 110 interviews across the EU). The report reveals, that from the very start of a project, project developers in the EU do not face the same financing risks and conditions. The webinar will give insight on why the cost of capital varies so much and what elements could reduce risk and hence societal cost of renewable energy in Europe.
DIA-CORE is a project funded by EASME, the agency of the European Commission. It aims at facilitating convergence of renewable energy support across the EU, and enhancing investments and coordination between EU Member States. A key focus of the project is to improve the conditions for financing RES investments.

World?s Largest Offshore Wind Farm is now Connected to U.K.?s Grid All 175 of London Array?s turbines are now exporting power to the U.K. grid. The 630-megawatt facility off southeast England is the worldapos;s largest operating wind farm at sea and is estimated to generate enough electricity for almost half a million homes a year. London Array is about 20 kilometers off the coasts of Essex and Kent. The owners are considering an expansion of the site to raise capacity to 870 megawatts. Britain, the biggest market for marine wind farms, is working to further reduce the cost of the technology as the country aims to get 30 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by the end of the decade, up from almost 12 percent now. http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2013/04/eon-dong-connect-worlds-largest-offshore-wind-farm-to-u-k-grid?cmpid=rss Vestas ShowingSigns of a StrongRecovery For the past two years, Vestas Wind Systems has struggled as the oversupply of wind turbines on the market forced turbine prices to dramatically drop. Last year the company announced it was cutting more than 3,000 jobs in order to try to stay afloat. However, recent announcements made by Vestas signal a big turnaround. The company announced that it has secured ?a firm and conditional order? from Canadian developers EDF ENCanada and Enbridge for 166 of its 1.8-MW turbines. In other news, Vestas has also announced that it is shipping three new turbine lines to be used in Denmark?s Noerhede Hjortmose project.

Offshore wind energy is rapidly becoming a key player in the European renewables market and recently expanded to U.S. waters. However, a drastic reduction in the cost of offshore wind energy is necessary in order to achieve long-term viability.
Two aspects with high potential are operation and maintenance (O&M) optimization and field-data enabled design improvements. Both heavily rely on decision support tools to link turbine operation modes to failure mechanisms.
An owner-operator of a wind farm looks for controllability and seeks knowledge about future failure events. Prognosis techniques not only detect failure, but also and more importantly predict failure evolution. This enables reduced power operation modes to allow turbines to remain online while spare parts are on their way.
A designer is interested in the link between occurring failure and the design assumptions. Prognosis enables feedback from the failure mechanisms of the whole fleet of turbines in the field, creating an interactive learning process about the current design. Due to a lack of data, prognosis has been held back a long time, but the current trend towards sensorization of Industrial machines, the so-called Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), is starting to overcome this hurdle.
In a September talk hosted by the MIT Energy Initiative, Jan Helsen, professor of Mechanical Engineering at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, discussed his research leveraging physics-based signal processing techniques with machine learning approaches to build multi-level models that predict system under-performance and failure. Helsen also investigates the potential to learn at the fleet level, and the potential to embed expert knowledge in decision-support schemes and dashboards.
This talk was presented on September 21, 2016 as part of the IHS MarkitSeminarSeries.
About the speaker:
Jan Helsen joined the department of Mechanical Engineering at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in 2014. He holds a PhD in Engineering Science from KU Leuven in the field of flexible multibody modeling of wind turbines. His research focuses on physics based big data analytics for monitoring of fleets of rotating machinery, with main application areas in wind energy and industrial machinery. In the wind energy domain he coordinates the big data analytics-related projects at the Belgian offshore wind laboratory OWI-lab. He has a close collaboration with National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) WindTeam in the field of turbine reliability. His research team is involved in both fundamental and industry oriented research projects with leading wind energy players. He worked with MHIVOW, Vestas, ZF Wind Power and Siemens, among others.

O'Malley Still Pursuing Offshore Wind Energy

BALTIMORE--Governor Martin O'Malley and U.S. InteriorSecretaryKen Salazar addressed the American Wind Energy Association Tuesday, affirming their interest in bringing offshore wind energy to America.
The two touted the technology as a solution both to environmental concerns and to the issue of job creation.
Governor O'Malley proposed a wind farm to be built off the coast of Ocean City, Md. However, during the last session state legislators pushed the topic aside, citing the need for more information on the topic.
He spoke passionately of his desire to bring the industry to Maryland in conjunction with Secretary Salazar's larger vision of a coastal network.
"We are very much committed to making offshore wind a reality off the coast of Delmarva," O'Malley said.

Costs of capital for onshore wind in EU

In this webinar, David de Jager will present the findings of a report from the DIA-CORE project. The report is the first to provide an estimation of the costs of capital for onshore wind projects across the 28 EU MS (based on more than 110 interviews across the EU). The report reveals, that from the very start of a project, project developers in the EU do not face the same financing risks and conditions. The webinar will give insight on why the cost of capital varies so much and what elements could reduce risk and hence societal cost of renewable energy in Europe.
DIA-CORE is a project funded by EASME, the agency of the European Commission. It aims at facilitating convergence of renewable energy support across the EU, and enhancing investments and coordination between EU Member States. A ...

Power Shifts in Global Energy

As 2015 began, the United States had become a premier global oil producer, bringing the ideal of energy independence closer to reality. Its huge output, however -- aided by new extraction methods -- has contributed to a hard slide in prices and jolted the geopolitics of energy. OPEC leader Saudi Arabia hasn't cut production, aiming to maintain its market share. Indeed, these conditions are forcing drillers to cancel projects in the U.S. and elsewhere. Is there a realistic scenario for returning to $100-plus per barrel? Would it require a renewal of vibrant growth in emerging markets? Questions are also multiplying around natural gas, whose price is similarly depressed. Is it still considered a bridge fuel between coal and renewables?

It's all fine and good to denounce fossil fuels and call for the switch to renewable energy. But who's going to pay for it? Two years after the Paris Agreement, world leaders are back in the French capital for the One PlanetSummit to finance that switch to renewables. So is the best approach carrot or stick? And can it all work without the United States, the world's second-biggest carbon producer?

SIMULIA & Technip: Advanced Engineering Simulation

This is a recording of Technip's keynote address, delivered by Jim Sullivan, from the 2012SIMULIACommunityConference in Providence, RI.
Advanced EngineeringSimulation: Allowing Technip to Take it Further
Energy, along with food and shelter, is an essential need of each of us. Strong growth of the global economy is fundamentally tied to the availability of accessibly and reliable sources of energy in all forms: hydrocarbon-based, renewable, and nuclear. For over 50 years, Technip and its subsidiaries have provided innovative products and engineering solutions to meet the needs of the energy industry. Technip is active from the most challenging offshore, deepwater hydrocarbon plays--where the billions of dollars of infrastructure are required for safe and reliable operations--to the...

The Sustainable Star - Germany

June 2006Germany has already gone further than anyone else in encouraging renewable energy. By 2050, 50% of its energy could come from renewable sources. But what's the real cost of its energy revolution?
Germany's landmark EEG law forces power stations to buy electricity at above markets rates from anyone using renewable energy to generate it. "It's the beginning of an energy revolution", raves politician HermanScheer. In the village of Juhnde, residents now produce their own electricity from manure. "We are independent of international oil prices", raves one local. The scheme has been so successful that 30 other villages plan to copy them. But power companies blame the EEG law for Germany's expensive electricity bills and claim it makes some German industries uncompetitive.

In this webinar, David de Jager will present the findings of a report from the DIA-CORE project. The report is the first to provide an estimation of the costs of capital for onshore wind projects across the 28 EU MS (based on more than 110 interviews across the EU). The report reveals, that from the very start of a project, project developers in the EU do not face the same financing risks and conditions. The webinar will give insight on why the cost of capital varies so much and what elements could reduce risk and hence societal cost of renewable energy in Europe.
DIA-CORE is a project funded by EASME, the agency of the European Commission. It aims at facilitating convergence of renewable energy support across the EU, and enhancing investments and coordination between EU Member States. A key focus of the project is to improve the conditions for financing RES investments.

A designer is interested in the link between occurring failure and the design assumptions. Prognosis enables feedback from the failure mechanisms of the whole fleet of turbines in the field, creating an interactive learning process about the current design. Due to a lack of data, prognosis has been held back a long time, but the current trend towards sensorization of Industrial machines, the so-called Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), is starting to overcome this hurdle.
In a September talk hosted by the MIT Energy Initiative, Jan Helsen, professor of Mechanical Engineering at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, discussed his research leveraging physics-based signal processing techniques with machine learning approaches to build multi-level models that predict system under-performance and failure. Helsen also investigates the potential to learn at the fleet level, and the potential to embed expert knowledge in decision-support schemes and dashboards.
This talk was presented on September 21, 2016 as part of the IHS MarkitSeminarSeries.
About the speaker:
Jan Helsen joined the department of Mechanical Engineering at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in 2014. He holds a PhD in Engineering Science from KU Leuven in the field of flexible multibody modeling of wind turbines. His research focuses on physics based big data analytics for monitoring of fleets of rotating machinery, with main application areas in wind energy and industrial machinery. In the wind energy domain he coordinates the big data analytics-related projects at the Belgian offshore wind laboratory OWI-lab. He has a close collaboration with National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) WindTeam in the field of turbine reliability.

As 2015 began, the United States had become a premier global oil producer, bringing the ideal of energy independence closer to reality. Its huge output, however -- aided by new extraction methods -- has contributed to a hard slide in prices and jolted the geopolitics of energy. OPEC leader Saudi Arabia hasn't cut production, aiming to maintain its market share. Indeed, these conditions are forcing drillers to cancel projects in the U.S. and elsewhere. Is there a realistic scenario for returning to $100-plus per barrel? Would it require a renewal of vibrant growth in emerging markets? Questions are also multiplying around natural gas, whose price is similarly depressed. Is it still considered a bridge fuel between coal and renewables? Will Russia's gas exports influence Europe's actions in the dispute over Ukraine? Solar and wind are getting cheaper as they follow the technology cost curve. Is that enough to put them in homes and power stations around the world, or are fossil fuels too entrenched? The experts and executives on this panel will keep us at the forefront of this crucial, rapidly changing field.

World?s Largest Offshore Wind Farm is now Connected to U.K.?s Grid All 175 of London Array?s turbines are now exporting power to the U.K. grid. The 630-megawatt facility off southeast England is the worldapos;s largest operating wind farm at sea and is estimated to generate enough electricity for almost half a million homes a year. London Array is about 20 kilometers off the coasts of Essex and Kent. The owners are considering an expansion of the site to raise capacity to 870 megawatts. Britain, the biggest market for marine wind farms, is working to further reduce the cost of the technology as the country aims to get 30 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by the end of the decade, up from almost 12 percent now. http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2013/04/eon-dong-connect-worlds-largest-offshore-wind-farm-to-u-k-grid?cmpid=rss Vestas ShowingSigns of a StrongRecovery For the past two years, Vestas Wind Systems has struggled as the oversupply of wind turbines on the market forced turbine prices to dramatically drop. Last year the company announced it was cutting more than 3,000 jobs in order to try to stay afloat. However, recent announcements made by Vestas signal a big turnaround. The company announced that it has secured ?a firm and conditional order? from Canadian developers EDF ENCanada and Enbridge for 166 of its 1.8-MW turbines. In other news, Vestas has also announced that it is shipping three new turbine lines to be used in Denmark?s Noerhede Hjortmose project.

One of their main goals is to make it possible for anyone to invest as little as $25 in financing solar energy projects all over the country. Mosaic supplies capital to developers at a 5.5% interest rate, takes a 1% fee, and investors can expect a full return of their investment in less than ten years. http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/blog/post/2013/04/solar-energy-for-and-by-the-people-mosaic-gets-100m-approval-for-california-investments?cmpid=rss Wind TurbineContention in Falmouth Focuses the Negative Impacts of Poorly Sited Turbines According to Wind Wise-Massachusetts, a leading environmental advocacy group, the battle over the fate of two industrial wind turbines in Falmouth puts the spotlight on the negative effects of poorly sited wind turbines throughout Massachusetts. At a special town meeting in Falmouth on April 9, residents will be asked for approval to borrow money to dismantle two wind turbines. If approved, Falmouth will become the first town in America to tear down industrial wind turbines for health reasons. Several complaints have been filed with health boards, police departments, and state agencies regarding the noise and vibration from these wind turbines. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/wind-turbine-battle-in-falmouth-just-tip-of-the-iceberg-201998501.html

Fleet wide monitoring of offshore wind farms for failure prognosis

Offshore wind energy is rapidly becoming a key player in the European renewables market and recently expanded to U.S. waters. However, a drastic reduction in the cost of offshore wind energy is necessary in order to achieve long-term viability.
Two aspects with high potential are operation and maintenance (O&M) optimization and field-data enabled design improvements. Both heavily rely on decision support tools to link turbine operation modes to failure mechanisms.
An owner-operator of a wind farm looks for controllability and seeks knowledge about future failure events. Prognosis techniques not only detect failure, but also and more importantly predict failure evolution. This enables reduced power operation modes to allow turbines to remain online while spare parts are on their way.
A designer is interested in the link between occurring failure and the design assumptions. Prognosis enables feedback from the failure mechanisms of the whole fleet of turbines in the field, creating an interactive learning process about the current design. Due to a lack of data, prognosis has been held back a long time, but the current trend towards sensorization of Industrial machines, the so-called Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), is starting to overcome this hurdle.
In a September talk hosted by the MIT Energy Initiative, Jan Helsen, professor of Mechanical Engineering at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, discussed his research leveraging physics-based signal processing techniques with machine learning approaches to build multi-level models that predict system under-performance and failure. Helsen also investigates the potential to learn at the fleet level, and the potential to embed expert knowledge in decision-support schemes and dashboards.

Renewable energy: offshore wind opportunities

Finite opportunities in traditional infrastructure assets have led to an increased volume of renewable energy investment. Mark Dooley, Macquarie CapitalEurope’s Head of Infrastructure, Utilities and Renewables, discusses investment opportunities in the relatively new offshore wind market and what makes it attractive to investors.

O'Malley Still Pursuing Offshore Wind Energy

BALTIMORE--Governor Martin O'Malley and U.S. InteriorSecretaryKen Salazar addressed the American Wind Energy Association Tuesday, affirming their interest in bringing offshore wind energy to America.
The two touted the technology as a solution both to environmental concerns and to the issue of job creation.
Governor O'Malley proposed a wind farm to be built off the coast of Ocean City, Md. However, during the last session state legislators pushed the topic aside, citing the need for more information on the topic.
He spoke passionately of his desire to bring the industry to Maryland in conjunction with Secretary Salazar's larger vision of a coastal network.
"We are very much committed to making offshore wind a reality off the coast of Delmarva," O'Malley said.
The InteriorDepartment has identified sites off of Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and New Jersey as potential places for offshore wind farms. The first and only U.S. wind farm's lease was signed by Secretary Salazar at the 2010AWEA conference.

Costs of capital for onshore wind in EU

In this webinar, David de Jager will present the findings of a report from the DIA-CORE project. The report is the first to provide an estimation of the costs of capital for onshore wind projects across the 28 EU MS (based on more than 110 interviews across the EU). The report reveals, that from the very start of a project, project developers in the EU do not face the same financing risks and conditions. The webinar will give insight on why the cost of capital varies so much and what elements could reduce risk and hence societal cost of renewable energy in Europe.
DIA-CORE is a project funded by EASME, the agency of the European Commission. It aims at facilitating convergence of renewable energy support across the EU, and enhancing investments and coordination between EU Member States. A key focus of the project is to improve the conditions for financing RES investments.

Fleet wide monitoring of offshore wind farms for failure prognosis

Offshore wind energy is rapidly becoming a key player in the European renewables market and recently expanded to U.S. waters. However, a drastic reduction in the cost of offshore wind energy is necessary in order to achieve long-term viability.
Two aspects with high potential are operation and maintenance (O&M) optimization and field-data enabled design improvements. Both heavily rely on decision support tools to link turbine operation modes to failure mechanisms.
An owner-operator of a wind farm looks for controllability and seeks knowledge about future failure events. Prognosis techniques not only detect failure, but also and more importantly predict failure evolution. This enables reduced power operation modes to allow turbines to remain online while spare parts are on their way.
A designer is interested in the link between occurring failure and the design assumptions. Prognosis enables feedback from the failure mechanisms of the whole fleet of turbines in the field, creating an interactive learning process about the current design. Due to a lack of data, prognosis has been held back a long time, but the current trend towards sensorization of Industrial machines, the so-called Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), is starting to overcome this hurdle.

Power Shifts in Global Energy

As 2015 began, the United States had become a premier global oil producer, bringing the ideal of energy independence closer to reality. Its huge output, however -- aided by new extraction methods -- has contributed to a hard slide in prices and jolted the geopolitics of energy. OPEC leader Saudi Arabia hasn't cut production, aiming to maintain its market share. Indeed, these conditions are forcing drillers to cancel projects in the U.S. and elsewhere. Is there a realistic scenario for returning to $100-plus per barrel? Would it require a renewal of vibrant growth in emerging markets? Questions are also multiplying around natural gas, whose price is similarly depressed. Is it still considered a bridge fuel between coal and renewables? Will Russia's gas exports influence Europe's actions in the dispute over Ukraine? Solar and wind are getting cheaper as they follow the technology cost curve. Is that enough to put them in homes and power stations around the world, or are fossil fuels too entrenched? The experts and executives on this panel will keep us at the forefront of this crucial, rapidly changing field.

It's all fine and good to denounce fossil fuels and call for the switch to renewable energy. But who's going to pay for it? Two years after the Paris Agreement, world leaders are back in the French capital for the One PlanetSummit to finance that switch to renewables. So is the best approach carrot or stick? And can it all work without the United States, the world's second-biggest carbon producer?

SIMULIA & Technip: Advanced Engineering Simulation

This is a recording of Technip's keynote address, delivered by Jim Sullivan, from the 2012SIMULIACommunityConference in Providence, RI.
Advanced EngineeringSimulation: Allowing Technip to Take it Further
Energy, along with food and shelter, is an essential need of each of us. Strong growth of the global economy is fundamentally tied to the availability of accessibly and reliable sources of energy in all forms: hydrocarbon-based, renewable, and nuclear. For over 50 years, Technip and its subsidiaries have provided innovative products and engineering solutions to meet the needs of the energy industry. Technip is active from the most challenging offshore, deepwater hydrocarbon plays--where the billions of dollars of infrastructure are required for safe and reliable operations--to the massive and equally capital intensive, refineries, and LNG plants needed convert those hydrocarbons into useful products that fuel our global economy. As the technical challenges facing the energy industry have grown over the years, advanced engineering simulations have allowed Technip to overcome them by taking its products and designs further.

The Sustainable Star - Germany

June 2006Germany has already gone further than anyone else in encouraging renewable energy. By 2050, 50% of its energy could come from renewable sources. But what's the real cost of its energy revolution?
Germany's landmark EEG law forces power stations to buy electricity at above markets rates from anyone using renewable energy to generate it. "It's the beginning of an energy revolution", raves politician HermanScheer. In the village of Juhnde, residents now produce their own electricity from manure. "We are independent of international oil prices", raves one local. The scheme has been so successful that 30 other villages plan to copy them. But power companies blame the EEG law for Germany's expensive electricity bills and claim it makes some German industries uncompetitive.
